Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of dedicated heat treatments (1050°C, 1100°C, 1142°C, and 1185°C/2 h + double-aging) on the uniaxial tensile properties at elevated temperature (650°C) of Inconel® 718 fabricated via arc plasma directed energy deposition. They enabled to meet, for the first time, the AMS 5662 requirements at elevated temperature. Tensile tests exhibited ductile strain–stress curves. The 1100°C/2 h + double-aging showed the best performance (YS0.2%, UTS, and elongation of 967 MPa, 1126 MPa, and 18.7%, respectively). Additionally, vertical specimens evidenced dynamic strain aging, although no brittle-like features were observed.
